The Monkey Pole is our selection, and he looks the pick of a competitive staying contest over three miles on good ground at Fairyhouse. He sits just 5 lb behind the top-rated Vision De Maine on our figures, but a fitness edge and a progressive profile give him the call over that rival. Final Decision matches him on 104, while Itsaworkinmaniam is only a pound behind, so the danger group is a tight one. Even so, The Monkey Pole's improvement and sharper condition should see him come out on top.
